Vaccinosis - the malaise (fever, muscular aches, bone pain, prostration, etc.)

as the result of being vaccinated. "

~Tiger Tribe Sept/Oct 1992~

Consider this scenario: You take you five year old cat to the vet to have his

teeth cleaned. The vet suggests that, while the animal is there, they give all

the yearly shots: the three in one, the feline leukemia booster and the rabies

vaccination. So, while still under the effects of the anestesia, your cat's

immune system is barraged with this multiple-virus " protection " program. For

weeks afterwards, the cat " doesn't seem the same, but you can't quite tell why.

 

Seven months later the cat develops a tumor in his chest, and within a month it

grows so rapidly that the cat has to be put to sleep.

 

While the conventional veterinary community might protest any claim that there

is a connection between the vaccinations and the tumor, something inside you

knows differently. What a vacination is supposed to do is mimic the process of

disease itself. When a weakened version of a virus is injected into the body,

the immune system is " tricked " into producing antibodies and the T-cells and

B-cells that protect the body against a particular disease. If the animal is

exposed to the virus in the future, the body remembers the virus and responds

with the appropriate antibodies.

 

John Fudens, DVM, says he does not have a problem with the concept of

vaccination. " the problem I have is with the method. An injection is totally

unnatural and artificial procedure. " No disease, short of being bitten by a

rabid dog, is injected by needle. What happens in this case is that the disease

totally bypasses the natural mechanism that is set up by the mouth and the

respiratory system to resist most communicable diseases. "

 

Richard Moskowitz, MD, in his remarkable article, " The Case Against

Immunization " carries this observation further by pointing out that the creation

of circulating antibodies " is only one, and by no means the most important " of

the mechanisms by which the body handles a viral attack. In fact, he says, if we

vaccinate, we have short circuited very important primary responses to disease

and have " accomplished what the entire immune system seems to have evolved in

order to prevent: we have placed the virus directly into the blood, and given it

free and immediate access to the major immune organs and tissues, without any

obvious way of getting rid of it. "

 

Also, what vaccination protocols fail to take into consideration is the unique

state of an animal's immune system. We can never know how long whatever

protection is gained from the vaccination will last or even if it will be

effective. The only true immunity occurs when an animal gets a disease and

survives. It is then immune to that particular disease for life.

 

Dr Fudens points out that " with the natural disease process, the virus or

bacteria doesn't include the antibiotics or the fungicides that are used to

protect the vaccine against bacterial contamination. And it doesn't include

aluminum sulfate, mercuric oxide, or any of the chemical substrates that are

used to carry the virus particles into the body in the injection procedure. " And

certainly you don't have the multitude of viruses coming in as one group or one

entity. You pick them up one at a time. So when you have four, five, six or even

seven viruses, it's a totally unnatural process. "

 

Dr. Fudens prefers to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies with

the use of homeopathic nosodes, disease substances that are diluted to the point

where only the " energy " of the disease is left. " It still accomplishes the same

thing, " he says, " but you don't have the other contaminants which cause all the

types of damage we see. "

 

Dr Fudens, who has practiced veterinary medicine for over twenty five years,

says that the worst reactions to vaccinations he sees are to the feline leukemia

vaccine. " These animals will come in with severely depressed immune systems.

They will actually mimic the disease they were vaccinated for. I vaccinated with

the leukemia vaccination when it first came out and I can't tell you how many

cats came back and I'd swear they had leukemia. " Every skin problem you see is

due to vaccinations, without fail. Later on in life, arthritic situations and

degenerative spinal diseases are the result of vaccinations. And I am convinced

that FUS in cats is also vaccination-related. The rabies vaccination in dogs and

cats causes so many problems it isn't funny. It causes personality changes, skin

changes, damages the thyroid and endocrine systems. It lowers the immune system

tremendously, and after that, of course, the animal becomes fair game for just

about any disease. "

 

According to Dr Fudens, cats, as a species, are more susceptilble and sensitive

than dogs to the unnatural effects of procedures like vaccination. " The cat is a

fine and sensitive animal because of it's protien and nutritional requirements.

The more strict your requirements for a certain level of life and health, the

more susceptible you are to conditions that would damage or change it. The cat

is magnificant in many respects, but it is also very vulnerable. It can only

withstand a minimum level of insults until the immune system breaks down. "

 

In an article published in the August 1985 Prevention Magazine, Richard

Pitcairn, DVM, said " The more I learn about the nature of the immune system, the

more concerned I am about the increasing number of vaccine viruses we are giving

animals and possible repercussions that may result. "

 

Five years later at a workshop on Chronic Diseases in Raymond, Maine, Dr.

Pitcairn seemed even more emphatic about the effects of vaccinations: " Another

big reason for the increase in Psora (the homeopathic term for the disease which

underlies all chronic illness) besides the allopathic drugs suppressing disease,

is the use of vaccinations. I think that's the reason so many diseases are

coming out at their base to be auto-immune dysfunction. They (the vaccines) hit

it (the immune system) hard, they disorient it, confuse it, and it starts

reacting wrongly. "

 

In addition, Dr Pitcairn has observed the reaction of many animals to the

homeopathic remedy Thuja, often used to counteract negative reactions to

vaccinations in both people and animals. " Thuja causes improvement in so many

aimals it makes you wonder what we're doing with this vaccination stuff. "

 

In addition to seeing the side effects of vaccinations experienced by

individual animals, many homeopaths question whether or not conventional

vaccinations are producing a population-wide suppression of disease that has

serious implications for the future health of all creatures. What is clear,

according to Jeffrey Levy, DVM, is that a pattern exists where we see the

elimination of one disease (feline distemper for example, or smallpox in humans)

followed by the emergence of a worse disease (feline leukemia for cats, AIDS for

humans). While one can place any kind of interpretation one wants on these

facts, says Levy, the pattern is quite clear.

 

In responding to the claim that side-effects of vaccinations are a necessary

evil for the greater good of society, Dr Levy states " It's not the greater good.

You're protecting the individuals artificially, and in doing so degrading the

health of the population at large. "

 

Richard Moskowitz, in the essay previously mentioned, seems to support Levy's

assertion: " At the bottom, I have always felt that the attempt to eradicae

entire microbal species from the biosphere must inevitably upset the balance of

nature in fundamental ways we can as yet scarcely imagine. " The fact is that we

have been taught to accept vaccination as a sort of involuntary communion, a

sacrament of our own participation in the unrestricted growth of scientific and

industrial technology, utterly heedless of the long-term consequences to the

health of our species, let alone to the balance of nature as a whole " .

 

While Dr Levy recommends the use of homeopathic nosodes to his clients, he says

that there are limitations to vaccinating even with these side-effect-free

remedies. " The nosodes are effective and safe, but what they are doing

essentially is putting a band-aid over a susceptibility. Somewhere down the line

you are going to have to deal with that susceptibility in one disease form or

another. " So, from my perspective, the alternative to using nosodes is to treat

the case constitutionally (the use of single remedies that match the total

symptom picture of the chronic or acute state of health). When you do this, you

improve the immunity, resistance to disease, and so forth. Basically, it offers

the same and perhaps greater protection than the nosodes, but it does it from

the inside out, rather than pasting a bandaid over the top. "

 

Mitchell Fleisher, MD, in a recent letter to Yoga Journal, would seem to support

the same perspective: " The vast majority of the professional classical

homeopathic community does not advise the use of homeopathic or allopathic

vaccines in the long-term prevention of communicable diseases. Rather

professional homeopaths would prescribe a single remedy, based upon the totality

of the individual's symptoms... that is intended to strengthen the immune system

and assist the defense mechanism in overcoming disease. "

 

The letter goes on to point out that there is a great deal of evidence for

homeopathy's ability to handle viral epidemics. During the 19th century,

homeopathy enjoyed a surge of popularity when it was found to be extremely

effective in dealing with the epidemic diseases that spread throuout the

country. In fact, during a cholera epidemic in Cincinnati in 1849, only 3

percent of homeopathic patients died, compared to 48-60% of the conventionally

treated patients.

 

Dr Levy points out that if given immediately after exposure to a known disease,

nosodes can prevent the development of clinical disease. Of course, we are often

unaware when our animal companions are exposed to diseases. But Dr. Levy offers

hope, " Viral diseases such as feline leukemia, feline infectious

peritonitis...are usually incurable with conventional medical treatment

(antibiotics, steroids, etc.). However, they frequently respond very quickly and

favorably to homeopathic treatment. "

 

Deciding not to vaccinate or to use the homeopathic nosodes can be difficult.

W. Jean Dodds, DVM, (see vaccination protocol) has begun studies on the

effectiveness of nosodes, funded in part by the American Holistic Veterinary

Medical Association. Hopefully, some solid evidence that these remedies work

will give people alternatives to the legally required conventional vaccines. But

of course, even the nosodes, as free from side-effects as they are, do not

guarantee absolute freedom from disease. Only a perfectly healthy creature,

human or animal, can consider this possibility. So making a decision implies

taking more responsibility for your cat's health. Such responsibility will

probably involve nutritional support, as well as alternative methods of dealing

with viral and bacterial infections, should they arise.

 

If you give all the vaccinations a conventional vet suggests and your cat

develops a tumor, certainly no one is going to blame you. " You did all you

could " would probably be the standard condolence. Perhaps some might blame all

the pollution in our environment. But we may be looking in the wrong place for

the substance of this pollution. Perhaps, as has often been the case, " the enemy

is us. " With our pride in science's ability to do better than nature, we may

just have created another Frankenstein that lurches beyond our control.

Consider Before You Vaccinate

(Taken from Tiger Tribe Sept/Oct 1992)

1) If you vaccinate with conventional vaccines, try not to allow your vet to

use anything but a killed vaccine (however, this option may not always be

available). Modified live vaccines are considered the most dangerous by experts

in immunology. They have the ability to replicate and then mutate in the body

and are banned in Scandanavian countries.

 

2) Although it might be less expensive, do not vaccinate for several diseases

at once. The rabies vaccine, especially, should be given seperatly from other

vaccines. (6 week intervals)

 

3) If you vaccinate conventionally, consider using homeopathic remedies to

counteract any potential adverse affects form the conventional vaccines. Jeff

Levy, DVM, recommends that the approprite nosode (made from the disease you are

vaccinating for) be given immediately after the vaccination. The next day give

Thuja 30C, followed one week later by Sulphur 6X for one week. In most states

the only " required " vaccination is rabies. The appropriate nosode for this would

be Lyssin30C.

 

4) Don't vaccinate for feline leukemia. Dr Levy has pointed out that there is a

great deal of evidence that this vaccine is both dangerous and ineffective.

 

5) Don't vaccinate if an animal is in poor health, pregnant, undergoing

surgery, or especially when also receiving a corticosteroid injection for

allergies.

 

6) If you decide to use the nosodes, you will need to contact a veterinarian

who uses homeopathy in his/her practice. While most homeopathic remedies are

available over-the-counter, the nosodes are availble only by prescription.

Killed Versus MLV Vaccines

(Taken from Pure-bred Dogs/American Kennel Gazette)

Dr Christine Wilford's comments about vaccines in the Veterinary News section of

the June Gazette were timely and important. I'd like to provide further

considerations for your readers about the killed versus modified-live virus

(MLV) vaccine issue.

The risks posed by MLV vaccines were reviewed in a landmark paper by Tizard

(JAVMA, Vol.196, 1851-1858, June 1990). It is well recognized by experts in the

field that a properly constituted killed vaccine is always preferable to one of

MLV origin. The primary reasons (for this preference) reflect safety to the host

and the environment. Killed vaccines do not replicate in the vaccinated animal,

do not carry the risk of residual virulence and do not shed attenuated viruses

into the environment. Furthermore, killed vaccines do not bear the risk of

contamination with adventitial viruses present in the tissue culture cells used

to grow MLV vaccines.

 

Finally, Dr Wilford's statement that " modified-live parvo vaccines pose no

threat to dogs " is simply overstated. They can trigger autoimmune disorders of

blood cells (platelets, red blood cells), bone marrow failure and

immunosuppression in genetically or physiologically susceptible animals.

Vaccines, while necessary and generally safe and effacacious, can be harmful or

ineffective in selected situations.

Training and Vaccinations

Lyn Richards

This subject is one of my " pet " (pun intended) peeves. I deal with Vets and Vet

Techs on a daily basis who instruct their students to keep the pup " home and

away from strange dogs " until the age of 5 months or so.

 

Well, guess what? Being that our breed (I have Danes for those of you who do not

know me) weighs about 70-80 pounds by this age, the poor unsuspecting owners are

literally being bowled over, never mind dragged around by these poor

unsocilaized Dane pups who are just overwhelmed and thrilled by all the new

smells, sights and sounds. Add the inundation with strange dogs and the mix CAN

be a lethal one.

 

The owners can begin training their pups at the age of 8 weeks, even if the pups

only lie in the owners arms and OBSERVE classes for the first few weeks. I offer

free unlimited classes for beginner dog folks, and I don't run separate pup

kindergartens. I do keep the bigger, older dogs in a different class from the

" pup " aged dogs, but

that is the only separation I have.

 

I have had great success with this method, as the very young pups learn a LOT

from just watching, and the owners comment that the pups tend to be more

attentive as they get older.

 

Separating pups from the world for the first 4 months of life, is to me likened

to parents who isolate their little babes from other kids from birth thru age 4

or 5, then the poor kid spends the first 2 years of day care or kindergarten in

bed with colds and illnesses.

 

My breeder goes one step further........if the pups are exposed to a lot of

strangers as young pups ( 3 weeks old) the mothers immune influence is still

strong in the pups, and they have the opportunity to build up their own immune

systems while being protected by mom.

 

Once the litter is healthily established (The breeder can see that there are no

failing or weak pups) she invites folks to come visit and handle the pups. They

are extremely well socialized and healthy.....all of her dogs.

 

On vaccines, I have been in constant touch with Jean Dodds, DVM and am a

believer that we are WAY over-vaccinating our dogs, to the point of causing

immune system failures. I am not ready to eschew vaccinations all together, but

I DO use Jean Dodds modified vaccination schedule, coupled with homeopathic

remedies.

 

**********************************

 

When questioned directly, most vets would agree that far more of their clients

die or are rehomed from behavior problems, particularly aggression, than die

from infectious diseases. I think prenatal and postnatal care in general and at

what age the puppies are released to new homes are more important than finishing

vaccinations before permitting socialization.

 

Lore Haug, DVM

 

******************************

VACCINATION NEWSFLASH

 

I would like to make you aware that all 27 veterinary schools in North America

are in the process of changing their protocols for vaccinating dogs and cats.

 

Some of this information will present an ethical & economic challenge to vets,

and there will be skeptics. Some organizations have come up with a political

compromise suggesting vaccinations every 3 years to appease those who fear loss

of income vs those concerned about potential side effects. Politics,

traditions, or the doctor's economic well being should not be a factor in

medical decision.

 

NEW PRINCIPLES OF IMMUNOLOGY

 

" Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live

virus vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces an immunity which is

good for the life of the pet (ie: canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper).

If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first

vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no

effect. The titer is not " boosted " nor are more memory cells induced.

 

" Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject

the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated hemolytic

anemia.

 

" There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual

administration of MLV vaccines

 

" Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk. This natural protection

can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies & kittens should NOT be vaccinated at LESS than 8

weeks. Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection

(0-38%) will be produced. Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, delay the

timing of the first highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart

suppress rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is

given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age.

Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4

mo) will provide lifetime immunity.

 

CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DOGS

 

 

 

" Distemper & Parvo. According to Dr. Schultz, AVMA, 8-15-95, when a

vaccinations series given at 2, 3 & 4 months and again at 1 year with a MLV,

puppies and kitten program memory cells that survive for life, providing

lifelong immunity.

 

" Dr. Carmichael at Cornell and Dr. Schultz have studies showing immunity

against challenge at 2-10 years for canine distemper & 4 years for parvovirus.

Studies for longer duration are pending.

 

" There are no new strains of parvovirus as one mfg. would like to suggest.

Parvovirus vaccination provides cross immunity for all types.

 

" Hepatitis (Adenovirus) is one of the agents known to be a cause of kennel

cough. Only vaccines with CAV-2 should be used as CAV-1 vaccines carry the

risk of " hepatitis blue-eye " reactions & kidney damage.

 

" Bordetella Parainfluenza: Commonly called " Kennel cough " , recommended only

for those dogs boarded, groomed, taken to dog shows, or for any reason housed

where exposed to a lot of dogs. The intranasal vaccine provides more complete

and more rapid onset of immunity with less chance of reaction. Immunity

requires 72 hours and does not protect from every cause of kennel cough.

Immunity is of short duration (4 to 6 months).

 

RABIES

There have been no reported cases of rabid dogs or cats in Harris, Montogomery

or Ft. Bend Counties [Texas], there have been rabid skunks and bats so the

potential exists. It is a killed vaccine and must be given every year.

 

Lyme disease is a tick born disease which can cause lameness, kidney failure

and heart disease in dogs. Ticks can also transmit the disease to humans.

 

The original Ft. Dodge killed bacteria has proven to be the most effective

vaccine.

 

Lyme disease prevention should emphasize early removal of ticks. Amitraz

collars are more effective than Top Spot, as amitraz paralyzes the tick's mouth

parts preventing transmission of disease.

VACCINATIONS NOT RECOMMENDED Multiple components in vaccines compete with each

other for the immune system and result in lesser immunity for each individual

disease as well as increasing the risk of a reaction.

Canine Corona Virus is only a disease of puppies. It is rare, self limiting

(dogs get well in 3 days without treatment). Cornell & Texas A & M have only

diagnosed one case each in the last 7 years. Corona virus does not cause

disease in adult dogs.

 

" Leptospirosis vaccine is a common cause of adverse reactions in dogs. Most of

the clinical cases of lepto reported in dogs in the US are caused by serovaars

(or types) grippotyphosa and bratsilvia. The vaccines contain different

serovaars eanicola and ictohemorrhagica. Cross protection is not provided and

protection is short lived. Lepto vaccine is immuno-supressive to puppies less

than 16 weeks.

 

NEW RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CATS

 

Feline vaccine related Fibrosarcoma is a type of terminal cancer related in

inflammation caused by rabies & leukemia vaccines. This cancer is thought to

affect 1 in 10,000 cats vaccinated. Vaccines with aluminum adjuvant, an

ingredient included to stimulat the immune system, have been implicated as a

higher risk.

 

We now recommend a non-adjuvanted rabies vaccine for cats. Testing by Dr.

Macy, Colorado State, has shown this vaccine to have the lowest tissue reaction

and although there is no guarantee that a vaccine induced sarcoma will not

develop, the risk will be much lower than with other vaccines.

 

Program injectable 6 mo flea prevention for cats has been shown to be very

tissue reactive & therefore has the potential of inducing an injection site

fiborsarcoma. If your cats develops a lump at the site of a vaccination, we

recommend that it be removed ASAP, within 3-12 weeks.

 

Feline Leukemia Virus Vaccine This virus is the leading viral killer of cats.

The individuals most at risk of infection are young outdoor cats, indoor

/outdoor cats and cats exposed to such individuals. Indoor only cats with no

exposure to potentially infected cats are unlikely to become infected. All cats

should be tested prior to vaccination.

 

Cats over one year of age are naturally immune to Fel.V whether they are

vaccinated or not, so annual vaccination of adult cats is not necessary.

 

The incubation period of Feline leukemia can be over 3 years, so if your cat is

in the incubation state of the disease prior to vaccination, the vaccine will

not prevent the disease.

 

Feline Panleukopenia Virus Vaccine. Also called feline distemper is a highly

contagious and deadly viral disease of kittens. It's extremely hardy and is

resistant to extremes in temperature and to most available disinfectants. Altho

an effective treatment protocol is available, it is expensive to treat.

Because of the serious nature of the disease and the continued presence of virus

in the environment, vaccination is highly recommended for all kittens. Cats

vaccinated at 6 month or older with either killed or MLV vaccine will produce an

immunity good for lif e.

Adult cats do NOT need this vaccine.

 

" Feline Calicivirus/Herpesvirus Vaccine. Responsible for 80-90% of infectious

feline upper respiratory tract diseases. The currently available injectable

vaccines will minimize the severity of upper respiratory infections, although

none will prevent disease in all situations. Intranasal vaccines are more

effective at preventing the disease entirely. Don't worry about normal sneezing

for a couple of days. Because intranasal vaccines produce an immunity of

shorter durations, annual vaccination is recommended.

 

 

--

 

VACCINES NOT RECOMMENDED Chlamydia or pneumonitis. The vaccine produces on a

short (2 month) duration of immunity and accounts for less than 5% of upper

respiratory infections in cats. The risks outweigh the benefits.

 

Feline Infectious Peritonitis. A controversial vaccine. Most kittens that

contract FIP become infected during the first 3 months of life. The vaccine is

labeled for use at 16 weeks. All 27 vet schools do not recommend the vaccine.

 

Bordetella. A new vaccine for feline bordetella has been introduced. Dr. Wolfe

of Texas A & M says that bordetella is a normal flora and d oes not cause

disease in adult cats. Dr. Lappin of Colorado State says that a review of the

Colorado State medical records reveals not one case diagnosed in 10 years.

 

 

 

--

 

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

 

Giardia is the most common intestinal parasite of humans in North America, 30%

or more of all dogs & cats are infected with giardia. It has now been

demonstrated that humans can transmit giardia to dogs & cats & vice versa.

 

Heartworm preventative must be given year round in Houston.

 

 

--

 

VACCINES BADLY NEEDED " New vaccines in development include: Feline

Immunodeficiency virus and cat scratch fever vaccine for cats and Ehrlichia [one

of the other tick diseases, much worse than Lymes] for dogs.

 

 

--

 

THE VIEW FROM THE TRENCHES; BUSINESS ASPECTS

 

" Most vets recommend annual boosters and most kennel operators require them.

For years the pricing structure of vets has misled clients into thinking that

the inherent value of an annual office visit was in the " shots " ..they failed to

emphasize the importance of a physical exam for early detection of treatable

diseases.

 

It is my hope that you will continue to require rabies & Kennel cough and

emphasize the importance of a recent vet exam. I also hope you will accept the

new protocols and honor these pets as currently vaccinated. Those in the

boarding business who will honor the new vaccine protocols can gain new

customers who were turned away from vet owned boarding facilities reluctant to

change.

 

 

--

 

CONCLUSION Dogs & cats no longer need to be vaccinated against distemper,

parvo, & feline leukemia every year. Once the initial series of puppy or kitten

vaccinations and first annual vaccinations are completed, immunity from MLV

vaccines persists for life. It has been shown that cats over 1 year of age are

immune to Feline Leukemia whether they have been vaccinated or not. Imagine the

money you will save, not to mention less risks from side effects.

 

PCR rabies vaccine, because it is not adjuvanted, will mean less risk of

mediated hemolytic anemia and allergic reactions are reduced b y less frequent

use of vaccines as well as by avoiding unnecessary vaccines such as K-9 Corona

virus and chlamydia for cats, as well as ineffective vaccines such as

Leptospirosis and FIP.

 

Intranasal vaccine for Rhiotracheitis and Calici virus, two upper respiratory

viruses of cats provide more complet protection than injectable vaccines with

less risk of serious reactions.

 

The AAHA and all 27 veterinary schools of North America are our biggest

endorsement for these new protocols.
